1901 S Old State Road 67, Paragon, IN 46166

Step into one of Indiana's most distinctive homes-an authentically restored Italianate masterpiece that blends timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort. Built with double layers of solid brick on both the interior and exterior, this architectural gem showcases soaring ceilings, original poplar hardwood floors, and exquisite woodwork throughout. Rare tigerwood floors-crafted from ash and cherry-adorn the main level and upstairs hallway, fully restored to their original beauty. A Juliet door with teardrop windows adds historic charm upstairs, while wood from a former octagon barn has been repurposed throughout the home, both inside and out. Intricate trim around the doors and windows reflects a level of artistry rarely seen today. The kitchen is a centerpiece, featuring exposed brick, reclaimed barn wood, and a passthrough to the dining room. A sun porch off the kitchen offers a peaceful space surrounded by large windows. The reclaimed wood-built pantry continues the rustic elegance with barn wood shelving. Outside, enjoy four unique gardens-vegetable, herb, flower, and a tranquility garden-along with a custom firepit area made from the same reclaimed wood. There's even a charming chicken coop/potting shed. Fruit trees (apple, peach, pear, cherry, plumcot), plus raspberry and blackberry bushes, offer seasonal harvests. A new patio bordered by herbs invites outdoor dining and relaxation. A restored brick path leads to the front door, and a custom wood fence, built from trees harvested on-site, ties the landscape together. The basement includes multiple rooms for crafts, canning, and storage. Recent updates include a new roof, gutters, windows, and doors, as well as upgraded plumbing, electrical, lighting, and a high-efficiency water heater. Two geothermal systems and two private wells ensure energy-efficient, sustainable living. This is not just a home-it's a piece of Indiana history brought beautifully back to life.
